Lago di Ledro - Tour

From the car park beside the information office in Pieve, we cross the main road and take Via Cassoni. Having reached the wayside shrine, we turn left into Via Rabaglia and after about a hundred metres turn left again, following the signs for Val Concei. The tarmac road becomes rideable after about 300 m and then continues for 1 km before rejoining the main road just before Locca. After 400 m we turn right and take the uphill climb on Via del Casel, at the end of which we turn right again into Via San Marco. We continue straight ahead and soon the tarmac road gives way to the Coste di Bariolo forest road, which winds its way uphill for about 3 km without any technical difficulties and then descends to the village of Alla Valle, where the tarmac road begins again.

From here we continue our descent along Via Dromaé to the village of Mezzolago (or alternatively we can turn right and follow route 729a. Variante Dromaé). Just past the church we turn left into Via Belvedere, which soon rejoins the main road. We follow the main road in the direction of Molina for about 1 km and turn right at the pile dwellings and continue skirting the lake along Via al Lago and Via Val Maria as far as Pur. At the crossroads we keep to the right, pass the beach and continue along Via Mal Maria. After about 1 km, at a hairpin bend, we take the cycle path on the right, which leads to the Pieve sailing club. From here we continue along Via Alzer and turn left at the first opportunity to rejoin the cycle path. This briefly rejoins Via Alzer and then turns left and runs alongside the stream for 1 km, after which it rejoins Via Imperiale. We turn right to return to our starting point.

Riding your bike requires specific clothing and equipment, even for relatively short and easy trips. It is always better to be prepared… e.g. for bad weather or a sudden drop in your energy levels. The unexpected things are part of the fun!

Remember to thoroughly evaluate the type of route you plan on doing, the locations you intend to cross and the current season. Has it been raining? Attention: The paths may be slippery and require more caution.

The ITRS is an objective way to assess trails and routes from a biker’s perspective, evaluating four aspects:

Technical Difficulty: riding skill level needed Endurance: combined effect of length, uphill and downhill Wilderness: amount of planning required based on mobile phone reception, rescue options, water supply and wildlife Exposure: consequences of a fall
